Day "-6"

So, we have been told that children deal with the hair loss from chemo better when they help cut the parents' hair in the first place. Therefore, Jeff let Kaitlyn start the process on Tuesday! She took a couple swipes and then wasn't too sure about it! So, Jeff took a turn and then I finished it off! Jeff actually handled it very well...and I don't think he looks to bad as a bald man!:) Every time Kolten saw him, he giggled! It was a lot of fun for our family! Bald is beautiful!

Day -7

Jeff will officially be admitted to the U of U hospital on November 12, 2008. He will receive four days of chemotherapy, and then have one day of rest. On Monday, November 17th, Joel Andrus will donate, or harvest, a liter and a half of Bone Marrow which Jeff will recieve that day. That is Day "0," and it will be considered his "New Birthday!" From Day "0," Jeff will remain in the hospital for 5 to 8 weeks, and then in the Salt Lake Valley until Day "100," when he will be evaluated and hopefully released to go home to St. George!
